Create lov using open api

i want to create a assistant of lov using open api(code C).
can anyone give me the steps and procedures for do this .

This really needs to go to one of the Developer (FOrms/Reports) forums, but any interface to Forms/Reports/Etc. will need to be compiled and linked as 'C', not 'C++'.

Creating Modules using Open API

Hi,
I am trying to create Form module using Open API.
What I would like to know is :-
1. How to link the source file (c++) against the Open
API library (f60d2f32.lib).
The c++ source file, Does it have to be .c extension ?
2. Compile the files to create an executable.
Anyone got any idea or can point to URL where I can get more info.
Thanks - Appreciate your help.

font color=red Create/Modify forms and triggers through C++ using OPEN API


Dear brothers/sisters
 
Please help us to find the linking problem.
 
We have to add PRE-FORM trigger to many FMBies. We have thousants of FMBies. So opening one by one is difficult. For this we are using OPEN API and BORLAND C++. We have coppied all header files from D:\orant\FORMS60\API.
But there is a link error. Here is the snippet.
 

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <stdlib.h>
 #include <malloc.h>
 #include <d2fctx.h> /* Forms API context */
 #include <d2ffmd.h> /* Form module header file */
 int main (int argc, char *argv[])
 {
 d2fctxa ctx_attr;
 d2fctx *ctx;
 d2ffmd *form;
 text *form_name;
 /* Check arguments */
 if ( argc != 2 )
 {
 fprintf(stderr, "USAGE: %s <filename>\n", argv[0]);
 exit(1);
 }
 /* Create Forms API context */
 ctx_attr.mask_d2fctxa = (ub4)0;
 if ( d2fctxcr_Create(&ctx, &ctx_attr) != D2FS_SUCCESS )

While creating Projects Using the API, get two errors: 'Customer name must be passed' and 'class category is invalid'

Hi
While trying to Create Projects using the API, I'm getting two types of errors -
The first is : 'API failed in one stage 1 Customer Name is a mandatory Quick Entry field. Value must be passed'
The second is : '
'API failed in one stage 1 Project: '<Project_Number>'
The class category is invalid.'
Both the messages are produced by our custom program. .. however I am not able to understand why the underlying errors occur.
The first error ( Customer Name is a mandatory quick entry field), is caused by Projects that are to be created from Project templates where it is configured with Quick Entry Customer Name required. We are passing Customer Site number ( Party Bill to site number and Party Ship to side number). The site numbers being passed are also set as 'Primary'. Yet they are failing.
For the second Error ( The Class Category is invalid), I rechecked multiple times, the Class categories for the Projects I am trying to create, with the Config in R12 and they are fine. Can't understand the reason for these two issues. Has anyone encountered such an issue ? If so how was it resolved?
Regards
Vivek

HI All
I resolved both the issues. In case there are others facing similar issues, following was the cause and resolution of my errors
1. Error 1: Customer Name is a Mandatory Quick Entry field. Value must be passed.
The cause was that the data loaded into our custom staging table was not in the right fields. This was because the data file values and the CTL were not in sync.
Resolution:
Corrected the data file to be in Sync with the structure defined in the CTL and this loaded it successfully
2. Error 2: The class category is invalid.
The cause of this error was that in the Projects Template (used to create the project from), the Quick Entry setup had a Class Category set as required and I was not passing a value ( a class code value) for that Class Category.
Hope this helps somebody else
Cheers

Thanks in Advance

HI,
You have to add the following jars apart from the jars you have mentioned
1. kmc.util.core_api.jar
2. umapi.jar
To find jar files
==================
Download and install the JAR Finder. how to is mentioned in this <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/2951">Weblog</a>. see what jar is required by copying the com.sap.ip.BaseException from the error "compilation unit references................." and put the "BaseException" in the jar finder and search. from the given options select the correct jar "com.sap.ip.BaseException" right click and add to the project. You can add all the jars required by this method.
Portalapp.xml
==============
<application-config>
 <property name="SharingReference" value="com.sap.portal.htmlb"/>
 <property name="ServicesReference" value="com.sap.netweaver.coll.shared"/>
</application-config>
HI,
use the BaseException etc the errors you get in NWDS to search for the jar. paste the BaseException and search in jarfinder.

Can we create LOV using free hand sql with out hardcoding

Hi gurus,
Dear All,
For some of the reporst we don't have universe, so we use to get the report with the help of free hand sql,
but here I have to hardcode the list of values by using @prompt, but instead of hardcoding is there any ways to get the list of vaues by using @prompt, if then can any one help me out.

Yes and no.
When we use a LOV in a universe, the SQL is generated from the object definition. With Free Hand SQL (FHS) there is no universe. However...
If you create a very simple universe to host your LOV, and then reuse the same prompt text in your FHS then you can fake the LOV. This is not a great solution, but to be honest, FHS is never really a solution that I would consider. You might consider using Crystal to replace Deski in these cases.

Creating Quote using Quoting APIs

Hi,
I am using the following method, trying to create a Quote from OA.
oracle.apps.qot.core.Quote.create(ControlRecord controlRecord) returns void
Since the method return void, I could not fetch the Quote details, of the created quote, like quote_header_id, etc.. also am not sure weather the Quote has been created or not.
Plz help me with this, also what values shoud be assigned to ControlRecord object for creating a valid Quote.
Thanks,
Adarsh

Hi,
Below is the description obtained in the quoting implementation guide.
create(ControlRecord) Creates a quote with the attributes populated in this quote
object. Quote header ID, last update date, and quote number
will be populated in the quote header after the quote is
created. This API should be called within a transaction block.
public void
create(oracle.apps.aso.quote.ControlRecord
controlRec)throws FrameworkException, SQLExce
ption, QuoteException
As per this description it should populate Quote header ID, last update date, and quote number . So i am trying to fetch the quote header id and it is showing null.
Is there anything which i am missing in the code?

Mithun

EMail Notification for the Newly Created users using UME API

Hi ,
In my application ,the user creation is handled by custom Admin module which uses the UME APIs. Upon creating the user, we need to send a notification mail to the user's email id which he provided in the Add new user form.
Is there any direct APIs available to notify the user via email. I hope the Standard user creatin module in User Administration also uses the same UME APIs.
Please let me know the possibilities.
Appreciate your help.
Sample Code:
 IUserFactory mUserFact = UMFactory.getUserFactory();
 IUserMaint mUserMaint = mUserMaint = mUserFact.newUser(aUser.getLogin());
 IUserAccountFactory mAccountFact =UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory();
 IUserAccount portalAccount = null;
 mUserMaint.setDisplayName(aUser.getLogin());
 mUserMaint.setXXX();
 mUserMaint.save();
 mUserMaint.commit();
 portalAccount = mAccountFact.newUserAccount(aUser.getLogin(), mUserMaint.getUniqueID());
 mAccount.setPassword("XXXXXX");
 aUser.setPassword(mPassword);
 mAccount.save();
 mAccount.commit();
Thanks and Regards,
Sekar

Hi,
I have used the Java Mail API directly send the notification upon new user creation.

How to start approval procedure for a Document/Draft using DI API

Hi!
My code imports purchase orders from one non-B1 system to SAP B1 using DI API. The problem is that in B1 system there is an approval process configured and I need the newly created purchase order to enter this approval process.
Currently this is not done because approval procedure isn't triggered when creating documents using DI API.
I had an idea to create a draft of PO instead of the PO and then push this draft into approval process somehow. But I can't find a way how to tell DI API to start approval procedure for my draft/document.
Thank you for your replies!
Jan

Unfortunately there is no way to trigger the approval process for any object added through the DI API.
Your workaround of adding the documents as drafts is as close as you can really come but maybe you could extend it slightly - it will involve a UI API addon:
Make the addon mandatory, and add a UDF to the user table, for example "U_Approver" and a UDF to PO document, like "U_Approval"
- Set this U_Approval to yes when adding through DI and add as draft
- When user opens draft document in the application, check are they an approver (U_Approver = "Y")
- If they are not, and try to view/add a draft which is flagged as needing approval, block them from adding.
You could further expand your DI project to send a mail to the approver whenever a draft PO is added.

Hi,
In BI4.1 SP03, there are couple openDocument fixes related to workspace.
ADAPT01700442
Description:
When using an Opendocument URL to open a BI workspace, a timeout error occurs resulting in an HTTP 500 error
message that reads: "Your session has expired".
New Behavior:
This problem is resolved.
ADAPT01711393
Description:
In Internet Explorer 8, if you attempt to view an Analysis workspace embedded in the SAP NetWeaver Portal using
OpenDocument, the workspace will fail to load.
New Behavior:
This problem is resolved.
What version of BI4.0 do you have?
If the fixes above are related to your openDocument workspace issue, I'd suggest you to test it on a BI4.1 SP03 sandbox.
Hope this helps,
